i met stude in the chat room 4 or 5 years ago and subsequently had many adventures with him on the www.

knew he was sick but not that it was so serious. stude sent me a few cds from the kindness of his heart and i never reciprocated ( not that i had anything much to offer - stude worked his hard drive so hard he had a personal rapport with the local dell service engineer) .

stude loved all kinda music but what he and i had especially in common, apart from zappa, was stuff like little feat, Allman bros etc.

unfortunatly i neglected to keep up contact over the last 2 years which was my mistake, loss, but will not forget stude or should i say neil.

FOLKS - REMEMBER BROTHER STUDE - A TOP MAN INDEED.

love mungo

and all the best to sabs, bc, stride, dr. inc, and all the others as well.

You guys are all so kind. Been thinking about him again and his sudden departure. Inevitable at this time of year. He will always be missed and thats the best thing you can say about anybody. But life goes on and there is much to be happy about. I think we will all get a chance to meet again after we go to the other side-in other lives in other places. It will be great.

Yeah I think he's thought about an awful lot. I can't listen to Blues without thinking of him. Led Zep came on the radio yesterday and I had to smile. What would Neil have said? Hehe. We all know how much he loved them!

I always get a kick outta playing people that old Small Faces track 'You Need Lovin' (I've got the CD)
Not only did Zep rip the old blues guys...Plant ripped Steve Marriot's phrasing and delivery 100%

Considering all the hoo-hah on the media over the last few days
(a million applicants for the Zep reunion tickets)
I'm sure Neil would be squirming if he was here...

Y'see, even if I was a massive Zeppelin fan, it's was bloody obvious to me that it was incredibly likely they'd do a tour after this "one off" event. So, all these people clammering for tickets, paying just stupid amounts for them, could have avoided all the heartache and expense, and just gone to see them on tour (Yes, it was that obvious there'd be talk of a tour). What was announced on Radio Two the other day?....Yes! Led Zeppelin have stated that they are considering the possibility of a tour very soon and no doubt a DVD, just before Xmas to bump the bank balance. Call me a cynic, I don't care, but the people paying well over the odds for tickets really have more money than sense.

Hell yes! Ahhh Neil would be proud of that rant! Haha!

at long last, led zep are beginning to cash in, just like that other old british 60s band... what's their name?... ah, yes... pink floyd...

Personally, I'm a Waters fan. Don't much care for Floyd after The Final Cut. Like the odd song but they were nothing special after Waters left, imo.

I don't agree about the percentage (plant didn't copy anybody right off), but steve marriott was the best rock vocalist to come out of ol' england.

Yeah...but if you listen to the Faces 'You Need Lovin''
Plant does copy Marriott phrase for phrase (Whole Lotta Love)
(the vocal acapella bit at the end)
that's the only part I know he copied 100%
not sure about the rest of their stuff...but I do like most of it
they may be a big bunch of copycats...but who isn't?

Well, I'm obviously quite late sending my condolences.
Drommom told me earlier today about Neil's passing. Neil was possibly my favorite person on these boards and the chat. He was always nice to me in the chats when I was the 'youngin'. I always wondered what was in that suitcase Unfortunetly, I didn't get to say goodbye to him and the last time I talked to him he thought I was mad or something. I could never be mad at Neil.
He was an amazing guy with a lot of character and spunk. It was really funny about how he hated French. I remember an instance when he was telling me about the library and all the French shit there. He'll really be missed.

I was reminded of Neil once again by a friend of his from Montreal. It's almost the anniversary of his death. I sent her a picture of the memorial to him that I have in my home. I thought that maybe some here might like to see it too and know that I am taking care of him. His ashes are in the bag in a container behind the picture of him. The picture is not great, but it's the best one I have. There is information on him inside the bag as well, so that if something happens to me others will know who he was. He will always have a place of honor in my home as long as I have one.
